Advocate's fault: appeals should be decided on merits when delay stems from counsel's illness or communication breakdown.
Where delay in filing an appeal is attributable to communication breakdowns, illness or incapacity of an advocate, or mishandling of papers by counsel's office, those circumstances may constitute reasonable cause for extension of time so that the appeal is decided on its merits; courts will examine affidavits, correspondence and office certificates and may permit prosecution of the appeal subject to conditions such as payment of costs.
